Ninja 300 rearsets options
I was wondering if anyone racing a ninja 300 has any advice on what adjustabilty, in millimeters, I should be looking for in rear sets. I've been looking at different brands and there seems to be a wide range among the different companies.
Vortex- Back:15-35mm & Up:10-30mm Gilles- Back:15-35mm & Up:10-30mm Sato- Back:27.5-52.5mm & Up:25-37.5mm Bonamici- Back:60-80mm & Up:40-60mm Lightech- No info but reasonably priced and look great Also if you're running a combo of rearsets and risers I would like to know that as well |

Welcome Indy!
I think you should narrow down where you want to place your feet. Then select a rearset that will place your feet in that specific spot. I went with Woodcraft since I got a combo deal with clip-on handlebars as well. |

I'm running Moth rearsets, love them, but they seem to be either out of business or at least no longer for sale in North America.

Thanks for the welcomes everyone. Currently building a race 300 and hoping to compete in my first race before the season is over. Might pull the plug on the Vortex rearsets b/c of part availability. I've read on forums of people combining the Vortex with risers to get the best positioning so I was thinking of going with the Bonamici's. But Hardracing seems to have a promo where you get a $50 gift card with the purchase of Vortex rearsets so cost become negligible.
Though on a side note does anyone have any inputs on the Bonamici's, I was talking to a sales rep for an online retailer and they were saying that the Bonamici's were not as high quality as the Vortex ones. This kind of surprised me since they provide parts for the WSBK TenKate Factory Honda team. |

I love vortex, the pegs are very abrasive so you're able to really dig your feet in and get a lot of grip
